UFO - Under The Rainbow
It was a typical spring day in early March 2008. The day started out very pleasant, then we had a storm roll through. I remember this storm quite well, because we had a fair amount of Thunder and Lighting, which seemed to have scared my 2 yr old son. The loud cracking of the thunder prompted him to run over and ask that I hold him.
After the storm had passed my wife took our Dogs out for some potty time, but when she came back into the house she said "You have to see this rainbow outside". Much like anyone else this got me curious, so I walked out onto the deck to see this brilliant rainbow. It was the only rainbow I had ever seen that was entirely complete. At that time I decided I should snap some pictures of it, as I thought a complete rainbow was pretty cool to see. I walked around our house just taking random snapshots of the rainbow hoping that I could get an angle that showed the entire thing.
A few days had passed and I decided to dump the pictures off of my digital camera onto my computer. After the process was complete I starting trolling through the pictures that I had taken over the past couple of weeks and then noticed the rainbow pictures in thumbnail view. I opened the first of about 10 or 15 photos I had taken of the rainbow and started looking at them. When I reached the 3rd photo in the sequence I noticed a bright light under the left side of the arch. My initial thought is that it was simply the sun peering through the clouds. I then noticed there were NO clouds around this bright white light. So I zoomed in closer to the anomaly on the pic and immediately said WTF is that! I quickly called my wife over to take a look at this and her response was the same. I was a bit perplexed because I did not see this when I was taking the photos. After further review we noticed that there looked like there was another one of the same objects just right of the center under the rainbow, but it was clearly too far away to be sure. At this point we definately thought what we were looking at was a UFO.
As you can see in the photo there are 3 or 4 individual round objects (lights) that appear to be emitting this bright white light from the UFO, or whatever it actually is. Also, by the length of the light trail, coupled with the fact that they are so large in the middle of a sunny day looks as though this object is moving up and to the left at a pretty impressive speed. Again, I did not see this at the time I was taking the picture, which leads me to think that this "UFO" was moving very fast, faster than the rate of capture by the human eye, and my camera just happened to catch one single frame during its travel. I really do not know... Take a look at the photo yourself and let me know what you think?
Also, for your reference I was facing north east and the sun was behind me, as it was late in the day.

That pic had me scratching my head for a minute. I usually go Scully and try to come up with a scientific explanation first. So you have this thing under a rainbow...at first it looks like a light, then you get a close up and see that it's an object with a light under/behind/coming from it. First of all, when dust is captured in a picture reflecting light, it's perfectly round, and the light travels with it, making it look like an orb. This is not round, and the light is not blocking the entire view of the object behind it. Then I thought maybe a bug, because you can see the three inconsistencies in the light, which could have reflected the segmented body of an insect. But the same principal applies to light reflecting off the bug...it would travel with the bug, not be lagging behind to leave the bug unveiled. Maybe I'm giving us humans too much credit, but I honestly think that a photograph can only fool the human eye so much, and looking at that picture you can just TELL that it's far away. Even if it were a jet in the sky looking distorted from the sun/rain/clouds, I've never seen a jet trail that looks like that. Great pic, survey says, UFO!

It's called the smudge tool.

I'd also like to point out that if it were a jet or some other manmade vehicle, xXSup3rXNaTuraLXx would have been able to see it. As he stated before, he saw nothing. Likewise, that would have be some pretty huge plane to appear at that size. I'm inclined to believe this is legit!

according to an photoshop wiz I know, if there were anything like a distant plane or blimp in the shot, it could easily be turned into that. I'm not calling this a hoax, but it just isn't concrete enough in this day and age.

When I was about 9 yrs old I remember seeing 3 rainbows (kind of stacked on top of each other yeah i know it sounds unreal) And i saw this same thing expect it was less blurry. It looked like an oval My whole family saw it and after all these years i can't come up with a logical explaination for what we saw..
